Please Note:

The Iowa Collision Repair Association is sponsoring SSB 3261. This bill is asking for the Iowa law to be changed so collision repairers can be reimbursed for sales tax on paint and material. Legislation activity will be updated regularly on this website, or call Jim Thompson at 319-560-8820 or Mark Martin at 515-964-7291. r />
When this bill goes to the floor- ICRA will be contacting shops and asking them to call their state representatives.

Please go to the Legislation button at your left to find maps of the Iowa Legislative Districts and a listing of State Representatives with their phone numbers.


SSB3261 reads …….. ‘ A Bill For An Act relating to the definition of retail sale under the sales and use taxes to include separate charges for paint and other vehicle body materials used during a motor vehicle collision repair. ….

Section 1. Section 423.1, subsection 45, Code Supplement 2007, is amended to read as follows:

45. “Retail Sale” includes the separately stated charge made for automotive refinish repair paint and other vehicle body materials that are permanently applied to or consumed during a motor vehicle collision repair.

Explanation This bill amends the definition of “retail sale” to include paint and vehicle body materials that are applied to or consumed during a motor vehicle collision repair if the charge for each of these items is separately stated. This would result in the purchase of these items by a motor vehicle repair shop being exempt from the sales tax because they are considered purchased for resale.
